[ Upstream commit 9e667624c291753b8a5128f620f493d0b5226063 ]
It turns out that jump_label_text_reserved() was reporting __init text
as being reserved past the time when the __init text was freed and
re-used.
For a long time, this resulted in, at worst, not being able to kprobe
text that happened to land at the re-used address. However a recent
commit e7bf1ba97afd ("jump_label, x86: Emit short JMP") made it a
fatal mistake because it now needs to read the instruction in order to
determine the conflict -- an instruction that's no longer there.
Fixes: 4c3ef6d79328 ("jump label: Add jump_label_text_reserved() to reserve jump points")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
